FORAKER REN0MlNATED
BY THE OHIO STATE REPUBLICAN
CONVENT
The sherman Resolution Passed with
Great Enthusiasm Speech by the
Distinguished senator The
Completion of the Ticket.

TOLEDO, July 2S.-The republican State
convention reassembled this morning and
John Sherman was elected permanent
chairman. The committee on resolutions
reported platform which was adopted
unanimously the tariff plank was receiv-
ed with loud cheers. When the indorse-
ment of Gov. Foraker's administration
was reached the convention cheered as one
man, many rising to their feet and swing
ing their hats. Loud calls were made for
Foraker The rebel flag clause revived the
demonstration. When the last resolution,
the famous Sherman Endorsement was
reached, the cheering broke out again and
loud calls were made for Sherman. In
thanking the convention for its endorse
ment, Senator Sherman said, while he
knew that at present it was purely a mat
ter of sentiment, he valued the action of
the convention as much as though it en-
sured his ele ion. At the same time he
recognized the fact that the question
rested with the districts, not merely of the
State but of the country. lie believed in
the district rule just as he did in 1850,
when that belief cut off all hopes of his
success.
The rules were suspended and Foraker
was renominated for governor by accla-
nation. Capt. G.. w. Lyons was nom
mated for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS on the sec
ond ballot Hon. w. B. Spear was re-
nominated by reclamation for judge of the
supreme court, long term. Judge Dyke
man of Cleveland was nominated for
judge of the supreme court, short term.
Ebenezer w. Poe of Wood county was
nominated for State auditor. John G.
Brown was renominated for State teas
urer by reclamation.
The abandonment at the last moment by
the friends of Blaine of their intended OPP
position of the endorsement of Sherman
by to-day's convention was due to the in
reference of some of Blaine's lieutenants
in the East after the committee on the
platform had finally decided last night to
report the Gfosvenor resolutions. De
spatches were received from the East by
the leader of the anti-Sherman men say
ing that opposition on the floor of the con-
vention would be i'll advised and cacu-
lated to do more harm than good to
Blaines interests. Therefore 1t was de
clded to let the question go by default.
The Eastern advisers, it is said, were
Messrs. Boutelle and Milliken.

The oldest Vermont telegrapher, in
length of service, has just retired We
refer to II. \. Drury, Esq, of Burling-

office in that city for nearly or quite 80
years. Mr.. Drury is printer by trade
and in his youth had an adventurous
those localities where on every publica-
ton day the editor sat down with load
ed rifle across his lap, waiting for visitors
similarly armed, After a number of years
of this sort of thing he determined to try
a mlder climate, and accepted an offer to
take charge OF the Burlington telegraph
Office. where he has ever since renamed.
Like most printers he is a tirst-class man
in every respect, and we trust that the
wears of his retirement will be as long and
as prosperous as those of his career as
manager.

Wrecked by Speculation.

Considerable excitement was occas-
stoned at Leavenworth, Kas., on the
9th, when the Citizens savings bank
closed it's doors. A large crowd soon
gathered and word was passed around
that the president of the institution, r.
P. Clement, was defaulter In a large
amount and had absconded. Clement
left town Sunday night ostensiply for
St. Louis, no one ever dreaming any
thing was wrong until w. B. Slosson,
one of the banks directors, in examin-
ing the records in the county recorders
Office noticed that large amount of real
estate in the city belonging to Gle
ent had been transferred to his (Clem-
ent's) brother. The banks books were
hastily examined and large discrepancies
discovered. Clement left letter in the
hands of his brother for the directors in
which he confessed to the defalcations,
attributing his downfall to speculation
in wheat and other ventures in which
he lost upwards of $4,000. 1t is said
that complete transfer of Clements
real estate has been made in favor of
the bank, amounting in all to about 800,
600. John Wilson was made temporary
assignee. The directors declare the de-
positors will be paid in full The aggre-
gate amount of deposits and liabilities
are said to be about 81 900, 900.

DISCUSSED IN COMMONS.
The Irish Land Bill Comes Up for Con-
sideration.

SlderatlOn.
LONDON, July 27.-The debate on the
lard bill was resumed in the House of
Commons to-day. NJ. O'Dougherty,
Home Ruler, member for North Done
gal, moved on behalf of Mr.. Parnell, to
limit to three years the clause providing
for written notices of evictions instead Of
the present method, on the ground that
the provisions of the clause would only
be required until land purchase bill
was passed. Mr.. Balfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, speaking for
the government, declined to accept
the proposed modification. John Dill
lon said that as the bill was only tenn
porary measure, clause depriving ten
ants of the small fragments ofrights re-
served to them under the act of 1860
ought not to be permanent.
He asked whether the government
would accept an amendment securing to
the tenant undisturbed possession be-
tween the service of the notice of
eviction and the time of the redemption.
Mr.. Balfour said the government would
consider favorably any amendment that
would secure the tenant slight
delay between the service of notice Of
eviction and the execution of it, for the
purpose of giving him time to turn
round and prevent the appearance OF
harshness on the part of the landlord.

Henry Decker couple of weeks ago
secured an ex parte injunction from
the circuit court in the case of
several shops against the Board of
Trade and the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, restraining them from
cutting off the compliments quotations.
Judge Smith went before Judge Horton
yesterday to have the Injunction dis
solved. He said it was useless for the
legislature to pass acts and the board of
Trade to take steps to clean out objection
able dealers IN grain if the courts were
going to practically tie their hands by
injunctlons. Further than this, the is
sues involved in this case were identi-
cally the same as those recently decided
in case by Judge Bagby. The rule of the
circuit court was that when one Judge
settled the law, other judges in the same
court would refuse to change it, else this
case must be argued before eleven
judges. What was the use of multiply
ing the number ofjudges if they were
all to try the same questions? The
Board of Trade was tiedlupiby an injunc-
ton in case similar in all respects to a
case it had won, and it was not allowed
to unite itself. Judge Horton finally
agreed to let the matter lie over until
Monday when Judge Tuley will prob
ably take it no.

TRAFFIC IN YOUNG GIRLS.
Ottawa People Alarmed Over the Revela
tiOns of the Police.

tiOns OF the Police.
OTTAWA, Ont, July 27.-The sensation
which was caused at the capital of the
Dominion over the startling revelations
made within the past few days, as to the
traffic in young girls of from II to IA
years old, in which a number of promi-
nent citizens as we'll as several politi-
clans are implicated, promises to develop
into scandal even greater than that ex-
posed recently in London.
One scandal following another
so closely in the metropolitan city has IN
censed the citizens generally. Last
night a meeting was held under the
auspices of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty with a view to devising
some means by which the great stain on
the capitals good name might be re-
moved. Special legislation, it was de-
cided, would be necessary to attain that
end, and the matter must therefore be-
come the subject of special legislation at
the next session of Parliament before
any law can be enacted to reach the
culprits. 1t is possible, owing to the fact
that the chief ofpolice has evidence in his
possession which would eliminate sever
al prominent politicians if brought into
court, that such measure, If introduced
in Parliament, would be defeated, guilty
members of the Senate and House of
Commons, whose names are freely men
toned, fearing that their Endorsement
of such a measure and subsequent in
vest;Gation would eliminate themselves.
